- Very colorful 1960 movie about the spring break migration to Fort Lauderdale that occurred annually during the 1950s and 1960s. The opening credits has beautiful scenery of the beach and the intracoastal.waterway.
There are songs that can't be covered like the original artists. This is definitely one of them.
Imagine watching this movie when you are 8 years old thinking this will be how life is when you reach adulthood, being excited about that, and then when you get to that age, it's 1972 - a totally different world.
Yes, I saw many teen movies before I got to high school and missed many references, some of which didn't matter when the culture changed!
How many singing voices ever were more beautiful than Connie's? She is a miracle!
truth !
I absolutely love 🌴 love 🌴 love this movie!
I loved this movie I was only 10. Life was so much more fun for us than the young people. I am going to watch this movie again. Thank you
I grew up in Fort Lauderdale in the 1960s. I remember when it was like this.
What's like now ? I have not been since Feb of 1980, stayed at the now gone Holiday Inn , Lauderdale By The Sea .
Completely over run with people and urban sprawl. And not to sound racist, but South Florida in general is mostly all Latin now.
THIS A PARADISE ON EART. THE MOVIE IS EXCELLENT !!!!!!!! The Song by Connie Francis is so Fantastic ❤❤❤
What great memories of the Florida waterway canals and homes of this time, preserved in the opening credits of this film. I remember how things were; makes me almost sad thinking its gone now. No one can sing like Connie!
Love this movie. I wanna see the second time. The early 60's was really full of innocence.
This movie is my favorite. Saw it on TCM. Not only innocence but values respect for elders less or no divorce cases. 60's was the time people globally travelled no inflation no pollution no social or population growth issues great time for movies and music. 70s 80s and 90s were great. Fast forward 21st century life sucks! the new generation is spoilt no values no respect for people these days. Wicked people everywhere globally. Very good ones left in this world.
Everyone is wired and its a techno jungle out there competition online social media venomous comments terrorism Pandemic rise of China. If I had the time machine of HG Wells I would go back in time to the 50s and 60s watch Elvis singing to women spend some time in America holidaying partying and come back to the present times sadly then go back again if mood be LOL. Greetings from India.
Great opening sequence. Brings back good memories of my time living there.
Starring Dolores Hart! Miss Hart left Hollywood to enter a Benedictine Monestery as a Catholic nun. She made films with Elvis Presley. Elvis gave his first kiss on film to Miss Hart. In an interview many years later she relates that both she and Elvis blushed uncontrollably; the director had the blushes covered with make-up. Dolores was also engaged to a successful business man; she later told him her decision to enter the convent. He did not take it as a rejection of himself. He never married!
I still get the chills, Connie when I hear your voice singing this! : )
Great movie, oozing with charm & innocence
Oh my heart ..It just skip a beat. Wow this movie was sooo cool in the the good ole 60's. To me it still is. I love this song. Thanks Rosie
I'm going back in time and it's a sweet thing, lived there from September 68 to March 1986, many memories that no one can mar.
I was 17 when this Movie came out. Most College Kids could' nt afford a 1 week in Florida on Spring Break then. it was still fun to see in Movies
I love you his beautiful movie in 1960 I was 10 I was born in 1951 now if it was before June I was still 9 if it was after June 30th,I just turned 10. Wow I love the 50's &60's I spent most ofy kid years outside with my (5) five brothers. I was the only girl 😋 had a great time thanks Rosie.
I love this movie.
It reminds me of innocent fun from a wonderful era.
I wish I could go back in time.

I agree! I remember the late 60's early 70's visiting in Florida as a kid/teen; quaint and fun before it became overbuilt and crowded...this movie makes me nostalgic for that time...especially seeing the canal waterways with modest homes, pools, boats, recreational scenes in the opening credits to the voice of Connie Francis...ahh, those were the days!
Young adults are still visiting vacay spots like this during spring break, not just back then.
this film I watch about one sunday a week..just to remember and love it
keri caye I think about WTBA a lot too . I was about 18 when film opened @ theaters, Going to beaches at Easter was in vogue for
youth during magic early 60s
There's only one Sunday in a week.
aw... I loved this movie
If a Hershey chocolate had a voice, it would be like this smooth.
one of my favorite movies, with my favorite singer doing the title song and starring as "Angie" - love love love ***CF4VR***
I was 12 y.o. when I saw this. I lived in tampa,fl. God, I'm still in love with this.
remember seeing this movie in a double feature for 25 cents as a kid in Torrance CA
I was like 11 years old and my Mom made me get into one of the scenes as an extra on the beach. I remember the headline on the newspaper my Dad was reading one morning, it simply said in bold letters,..."They're Here."
WAS GOOD, IF NOT BEST ERA OF ALL TIME. LIFE WAS GOOD. FUN, SAFE, POLLUTION FREE, WELL YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. BEAUTIFUL CARS.
kimo abitz yup the good ol days were black people were getting lynched, murdered for no reason, couldn't vote, treated like a 2nd class citizen in their own country, the country they were born in & has been here for generations....ahh the good days man =)
We went to Lauderdale in the early 80's too - not just 50's & 60's!!
Connie Francis has one of the sweetest voices ever...
I'd love to see contrasting photos of 1960 beach sites in the movie & same today
Well the beach is still there! Just narrower. Elbo Room still there, no longer serving food,. Wreck Bar also there and since 2007 has brought back the mermaid show! Bahia Mar has changed the most, and is about to get redeveloped again. The building across from the Elbo is gone; it's now a park.
Classic.
Show 'em the opening credits on T.V. and experience a supercharged tourist boom that ain't let up yet. Before Florida Man, before The Midnight Cowboy, before Miami Vice, this was how folks up north became intoxicated with Florida.
Release date: December 28, 1960
This movie version is a softer version than th emillion selling single version.
@mike stambaugh I am not sure what you mean. The movie is around 2 hrs. long.
Summer place was another great movie
yvette mimieux was a real knockout in this.
John Jarou so was Delores & Paula they were about 22 in ,59/60.
I wish there's a full version of this movie opening credits version but I know it's too late ;)
It is available everywhere and always on TV...Turner's channel.
yeah Turner Classics plays it every spring break and at least one other time of the year....it's a ratings winner still today
George was my fave at the time
@KYKIN89 Thanks for the tip! I shall keep an eye out. I do hope the documentary is well done. I have seen Rev Mother Dolores interviewed a couple of times. Last report, she is still very much alive and alert in the same old convent which is now very much in need of repairs and building code updates. Thanks again. A retired Catholic priest in Canada. P.S. I was in the seminary until 1965; so I missed all the news in those days.
Amazon has the movie in stock.. Cheers
CONNIE FRANCIS POR SIEMPRE 😘
Whoever the narrator is, I recognize him from MGM's "The ____ of Tomorrow" animated series.
Interesting that this doesn't use Connie's version of the theme song that was released on record.
Yes i love this movie i was born in 1952
50+years the buildings may have changed....BUT Spring Break 2015....still the same
I had heard that
Frank Gorshin the
Riddler was in this movie but IDK ( I Didnt Know) he was cause
I nrver seen the movie
now I know and knowing's half
the battle.
Fue la primera participacion de Connie Francis,en una pelicula..Luego filmo tres peliculas mas.Grande Connie.
Connie Francis is the Best.
That's the voice of "Robbie the Robot!"
Paul Frees I believe. He voiced many a character.
Narrated by Paul Frees.
Thank you. Do you know where I can find the full movie?
you can rent it on UA-cam
The film has been employed to demonstrate that there has been no "sea rise" here in Ft. Lauderdale. The film was shot in 1959 (released in 1960) establishes beach widths, canal and Intracoastal levels. It has been used by scientists to establish that the sea/canal levels in 2016 are the same as in 1959. The film was shot by a crew with no agenda. The docks and sea walls here demonstrate that there has been no rise in these parts for at least the last 58 years. Go look it up.
Edward Greenberg I figured at least some of footage was in 1959
Al Gore invented sea rise.

plenty of sea rise in Miami. I live in Ft. Lauderdale in a hi rise built over 40 years ago. Every building gets a 40 year inspection by the county. Had ours last year. The cars in the underground garage need not be moved in a hurricane. We live 200 ft from the ocean. First floor is 10 ft above sea level. Our pool is on the beach as is our club. They have been flooded only during Cat 4 hurricanes.... three times in the last 15 years. Damage? They eliminated carpeting in the weight rooms.
I think I remember hearing Delores Hart became a nun.
Reminds me of the beginning of Gilligan's Island; same era.
General survey I am asking on behalf of a cousin:
Would this movie today be appropriate for an 8 9 10 or 11yo girl or not?
Where is the famous song? And guess who wrote it? Niel Sadaka and his partner.

Wait! I thought the seas are supposed to be rising. So how is it that Ft. Lauderdale beach in the almost 60 years since this opening sequence was shot is still just as wide now as it was then? Sorry "Climate Change" scientists but the ocean is NOT rising up over the Elbo Room.
you must have missed when we have what are called "King Tides" the last few years here in South Florida....and the beach is not that wide but about only 50% of what it was wide when I was a kid going there in the mid to late 60's. I was born & raised here in Miami, and my mom preferred to go to the beach in Ft Lauderdale over Crandon on Key Biscayne. So we went where she wanted to go
Al Gore invented sea rise.

Awesome flick, but the Ivy League storyline was cringeworthy...
When I was in Gunnison Colorado at Western State college Yvette Mimieux and I were on
the same plane...She was on her way to Crested Butte Ski resort to appear in the straight
to video movie called Snow Beast...She gave me a nasty sneer and then just walked away...
Her career was kaput at that point and I could tell how sad and used up she felt..The movie
business can be ruthless and cruel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
